Chinese Classes

＊Course Levels

CLC offers a wide variety of courses at the beginner, intermediate, and advanced level. There are classes covering the four standard skills of reading and listening comprehension, conversation, and writing, as well as curriculum in newspaper reading, business Chinese, and Classical Chinese literature. Additionally, CLC offers courses on Taiwanese language and culture, which allows students to understand the many rich aspects of native Taiwanese customs, such as martial arts, religions, architecture, and traditional crafts.

At the beginning of each new semester, CLC helps place students to their appropriate level class with a simple oral interview and character recognition drill. In order to create the most effective learning environment possible, CLC further forms classes, within each level, with students of similar ability, which allows them all to learn at the same pace.
